There's some small differences that I think are worth it. For example, if there's a format where I get to wear double dragon and grief, the pulse kills Oak for me and I don't have to stop charging to FOH. If you like V/T then play that instead but I just enjoy playing this build more especially for pubs and don't wanna spend a token every time I pub.


yes, but fighting druids without enigma... Ele druids are very effective at punnishing people charging at them.
But ye, i do get it. Shocker gris palas has killed druids with charge and zeal before.

The thing is, that if your build was zeal instead of smite you could utulize that elemental damage every hit, not just on charge. But also on zeal.

Zeal isn't great for pvp though, smite with grief wins that battle all day. In a heads up duel I will beat a auradin using zeal every time and I have better match ups across the board with it.

It's hard to beat a really good druid but it's not that bad of a match up. If they recast their oak really well it's hard to actually commit to charging on them and smiting them. That's another match up that tele ammy would help with, but you can also duel the druid with enigma as well if that's how you prefer.

My physical tele zeal beat smiters easely, charge with +2 range ba was the key. But my VT was better much more flexible.
Hammers are hard with zeal, due to locking urself down for 5 attacks.

i don't think zeal is better for this char just gonna disagree with you and leave it at that.

so in 2025 you feel the need to point out that an off-meta build isn't as good as the decades old meta builds

thank you mr. hamm for saying the obvious. we're all better for it.

op: nice guide, fun build. well done

You feel the need to post it in 2025 as "guide"

Same as me reading the "guide"

Good luck with all you do and enjoy the game.

Im sure some years later your acc name will be changed and you will play alot better char/build when you realized the game. You will remember this post.
